Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/.f64 (+.f64 (neg.f64 b) (sqrt.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b b) (*.f64 (*.f64 4 a) c)))) (*.f64 2 a)) < -1.14143805087387418

    1. Initial program 11.6

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    2. Applied fma-neg_binary6411.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, -\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c\right)}}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    3. Simplified11.5

      \[\leadsto \frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, \color{blue}{c \cdot \left(a \cdot -4\right)}\right)}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    if -1.14143805087387418 < (/.f64 (+.f64 (neg.f64 b) (sqrt.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b b) (*.f64 (*.f64 4 a) c)))) (*.f64 2 a))

    1. Initial program 31.4

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} \]

    2. Taylor expanded in b around inf 4.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\left(2 \cdot \frac{{c}^{3} \cdot {a}^{2}}{{b}^{5}} + \left(5 \cdot \frac{{c}^{4} \cdot {a}^{3}}{{b}^{7}} + \left(\frac{{c}^{2} \cdot a}{{b}^{3}} + \frac{c}{b}\right)\right)\right)} \]

    3. Simplified4.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\mathsf{fma}\left(2, \frac{\left(a \cdot a\right) \cdot {c}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}, \mathsf{fma}\left(5, \frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}}, \frac{c}{b} + \frac{c \cdot \left(c \cdot a\right)}{{b}^{3}}\right)\right)} \]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification5.5

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c} - b}{a \cdot 2} \leq -1.1414380508738742:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(b, b, c \cdot \left(a \cdot -4\right)\right)} - b}{a \cdot 2}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-\mathsf{fma}\left(2, \frac{\left(a \cdot a\right) \cdot {c}^{3}}{{b}^{5}}, \mathsf{fma}\left(5, \frac{{a}^{3} \cdot {c}^{4}}{{b}^{7}}, \frac{c}{b} + \frac{c \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}{{b}^{3}}\right)\right)\\ \end{array} \]
